No green in this yard, due to heavy snow today! But I do have fond memories of early life on a small farm in Illinois. The early green alfalfa fields were a favorite, and especially, those pink/lavendar blossoms.
Here is my latest project - another "Pineapple, Green, Green Fields of Home"- I seem to be obsessed with them. I've used a lot of greens in the blocks -- notice there are 2 different block layouts, similar to 2 or 3 I've made previously. All the blocks are made with different fabrics, all scrappy, with the same light, slubby muslin. There are a few "odd" blue and/or gold blocks. Calculations on the inner border were successful, first time around, thanks to Gyleen X. Fitzgerald. I purchased her DVD from Annie's Craft, "Learn to Quilt With Scraps: Stash to Treasure".

Stay healthy everyone! Thank you Mom, for helping me learn to sew!
and another very nice quilt....i am overrun with greens too so thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am always drawn to your pineapple quilts. The two different block layouts play very nicely together. And the pops of blue and gold contribute to a truly scrappy feel. Excellent job, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI must say, that looks like a boatload of snow for this time of year! We just got a skiff over the weekend, that was gone by midday.
Love your quilt, and the backing is super, makes it interesting to add a bit of color in a smart layout!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a bit of snow too, but at least it warmed up today. It was -20C last week. Shiver!
Very pretty and I do like what you did with the backing to make it fit.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I love the way you used the snow to give a great neutral background. Snow already!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's always so nice when that inner border calculation works properly first time! This quilt is super appealing. I love the two block styles mixed together. It made a neat pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! No snow here and we haven't even had much rain this fall. It is supposed to rain this week, though.
